We live in a community of a few hundred homes (Lakeside at Tessera, Lago Vista TX) and they will be clearing land and building a few thousand more. Some chick wants a Community Garden. WHY NOT IN HER BACKYARD, it is plenty big enough. It is a big lib idea, the community garden. So the builder and HOA OK’ed the idea. There will be room for about 12 garden plots. For a few THOUSAND homes. Already they are asking WHO will be responsible for the garden? Pick up trash, pull weeds...
We say the chick who wants the d*mn thing can be in charge of it! I will continue to buy from our local farmers market or the grocery stores! LOL
We of course have one nut case who wants a compost site available along with barrels to collect rainwater.
We have no need for either. She goes on and on...
In a group that big, it would be better for everyone to have a plot and reserve a communal area for a garden swap/mini farmers market one or two night a week.
